electrical overview

Electrical Work Built on Safety and Code Compliance

Electrical problems aren’t like most other home issues – a flickering light or a warm outlet can be a minor nuisance, or it can be an early warning sign of something more serious. #1 Construction has spent over 20 years handling electrical repairs and installations for homeowners across Southeast Michigan, from single outlet replacements to full panel upgrades and whole-home rewiring.

Every electrical job starts with an accurate diagnosis, since electrical issues often have a root cause that isn’t visible at the surface. From there, our licensed electricians complete the repair or installation to code, with the same level of care whether the job is a quick outlet swap or a multi-day panel upgrade tied into a larger remodel.

Every electrical project we complete is backed by a 1-year labor warranty, with free, itemized estimates delivered within a week.

Electrical Repairs & Troubleshooting

Flickering lights, tripped breakers, and warm outlets are all signs of an underlying electrical issue that shouldn’t be ignored. We diagnose the actual cause, whether it’s a loose connection, an overloaded circuit, or aging wiring, and repair it correctly rather than just addressing the symptom.

Panel Upgrades & Replacement

Many older Southeast Michigan homes have electrical panels that weren’t built to handle modern power demands. We upgrade and replace outdated panels to safely support your home’s current and future electrical load, from added appliances to home additions.

Wiring & Rewiring

Aging or outdated wiring is one of the more serious electrical concerns in older homes, both for safety and for keeping up with modern power needs. We rewire full homes or specific sections as needed, replacing outdated wiring with materials and methods that meet current code.

Lighting Installation

From recessed lighting to fixture upgrades, we install and replace lighting throughout the home. This work is often paired with a larger remodel project, and we coordinate the timeline and design so new lighting fits the space it’s going into.

Outlet & Switch Installation

Whether you need additional outlets, GFCI outlets in a kitchen or bathroom, or updated switches, we handle installation and replacement to meet current code requirements and your household’s needs.

EV Charger Installation

As more households add electric vehicles, home charging capability has become a common electrical request. We install EV chargers safely, accounting for your panel’s capacity and running dedicated circuits where needed.

How Much Does Electrical Work Cost in Michigan?

Electrical costs vary based on the type of work, the age and condition of your existing system, and whether the job is a standalone repair or part of a larger remodel. A few factors that most affect cost:

Type of work – a single outlet or switch repair typically costs less than a full panel upgrade or rewiring project
Panel capacity – homes needing a panel upgrade to support added load cost more than simple repairs
Age of existing system – older homes with outdated wiring often uncover additional issues once work begins
Fixture and material quality – the panel, fixtures, or wiring materials selected affect overall cost
Permitting requirements – larger electrical projects generally require permits, which factors into timeline and cost

Rather than publish a generic price range that may not reflect your specific issue, we provide a free, itemized estimate after discussing the problem and inspecting your electrical system – so you know the real cost before any work is scheduled.
